Slack Technologies, Inc. announced that SiriusXM, the world’s largest audio entertainment company, is rolling out Slack companywide. SiriusXM expects to use Slack as part of its audio production, event management and marketing to bring together teams and applications.
The acquisition earlier this year of Pandora Media, the most popular music-streaming app in the U.S., expanded the employee ranks at SiriusXM. Together, SiriusXM and Pandora now reach more than 100 million people with their audio products and services. The introduction of Slack as SiriusXM’s choice of technology and productivity tool is a significant part of the company’s ongoing efforts to integrate its geographically dispersed workforce.
